Answer 1

YES! My husband snores so loud that no one can sleep. He now sleeps in another room, and i can still hear him so I had to start taking sleeping pills so I would be so knocked out that I couldn't hear anything. He has sleep apnea..He has been to the doctor and got a CPAP machine but he takes it off in the night when he is sleeping. It is miserable.

Answer 2

My ex husband snored and my boyfriend snores. Thankfully, when he sleeps over I can sleep on my couch, if need be. Most of the time it's something I don't even notice anymore but on certain nights it's like a lawnmower next to me and I'm deaf in my right ear!? This man may have sleep apnea. The only real fix is for them to follow exactly what the doctor says. If you've tried other OTC cures to no remedy, I strongly suggest seeing a professional. Sleep apnea is a serious condition. Some tricks to use (I used them on husband):
1) Don't over feed him, especially right before bed.
2) Make sure he stays regular and goes right before sleep so he won't be waking himself up.
3) Murine Nose Irrigator works well.
4) Those over the nose strips are great if you can get him to use them.
5) If all else fails, put some beans in there...

Answer 3

My husband snores also, sometimes really LOUD. I have learned to love the sound of it, I think of it as though he were a big cat purring....helps me. There are those nose strips that help some people and if you have health insurance, there are minor surgeries that it will cover to eliminate or reduce snoring. Seperate sleeping quarters are never very good for a marriage.....so is lack of sleep. There are many options in this world, I would seek other options before seperate beds became the answer....your husband probably doesn't know what to do, I am sure this bothers him also.

Answer 4

It is a pain! But something you might want to check. My son snored so loud that I heard him in my bedroom at night. I had a sleep study test done and it turned out that he has sleep apnea. Also, he had very large tonsils which contributed to this. He has his tonsils removed and the snoring pretty much stopped - unless he is really tired then he will snore but no where near as bad as what he did before. After we found the problem and had it corrected, there are times when I have to walk to his bed and I check to make sure he is still breathing! But if your husband has sleep apnea then it will cause the snoring to be really bad. May want to check on this before one of you moves out of the bedroom. Good luck!

Answer 5

I have just learned to live with my husbands snoring and my sons. I have learned that I can not change it and have accepted that but I will not sleep unless I am beside him so I have to love that part of him too you can try the breath right strips they worked some what for my husband or they have the snore no more spray you can also try that ( hubby has not tried that so can't tell you on that one)

Answer 6

Ha Ha. Oh yes, mine snores like an old bulldog. If I don't fall asleep before he does, I am awake most of the night. The strips do work a bit. The real problem is his nasal passages and there is a very simple operation they can perform to correct it all. You may wish to look into that. I've suggested it to my husband, but only received a blank, puzzled look. I also drown him out with the TV going, but best bet is to fall fast asleep before him. Good Luck! I know the feeling well.

Answer 7

Yes, he snore when he is sleeping at our bedroom and I can hear it in the family room, so worse I can ever handle. Then I work it out with a snore sticker and it works take few days because he has to learn to breath with it at night. You can buy it in any drug store. Then you will sleep like a baby.

Answer 8

my parents have the same problem, thats why i stopped going to sleepovers even though i love my friends to death, on the night of our graduation party, (this wasnt planned though) but i slept over her house (the one who through the party) and it was just a matter of seconds before i heard snoring all around me, it was like 12 to 1 at night and i couldnt sleep until 3 or 4 in the morning, no joke either! i had a girl right beside me, RIGHT BESIDE me who snored the loudest, i had one girl on the other side of me laying on the couch, then there was a couple just 10 feet away in another room and then there was another girl on the couch right above me, i have NEVER slept so horrible in my life. i felt trapped.

i discovered that clogging your ears with tissue works sometimes, earplugs never work for i guess it depends on what kind you get (foam kind sucks!)

maybe he needs to go see a doctor about it, becuase i can't blame you for not wanting to sleep through that horrible sound, maybe you guys should take that step in order to have comfortable relaxing nights with each other

Answer 9

My relationship has never suffered, but my sleep sure has! Try the breathe right strips. They can be a big help. If he is extremely bad ... sleep apnea may be something to consider. One thing that has helped me is that I try to get to bed and asleep before hubby does. If I am asleep before him, it often helps limit how often I hear the snoring. Good luck.

Answer 10

I must be the only wife on the planet who actually enjoys my husband's snoring. I didn't get married until I was over 30, and his snoring makes me feel content. But maybe you are a lighter sleeper.

Sorry not to be more helpful.

With 4 kids you definitely need as much sleep as he does, if not more!
